, Tulane Game
Will Be Shown
Tickets for the University club's
Grid Graph of Saturday's Tulane game
' - will go on sale this afternoon through
club members and the YMCA office.
President Denny Hammond, presid
ing over yesterday afternoon's meet
ing of the University Club, emphasized
? the fact that the Tulane game will not
be broadcast and that the Grid Graph
in Memorial hall will afford fans the
only means of f ollowing the game
Tickets will be available from mem
bers and at the Y office until Satur
day noon, after which time they will
be available only at the door. Price of
admission is 25 cents. This charge
covers the cost of leasing a direct' wire
from the Tulane stadium in New Or
leans. Miniature Gridiron
This year's graph is the same as the
one used so successfully to bring the
results of the Tulane game to Chapel
Hill last year. It consists of a large
board on which is painted a miniature
gridiron and is operated by a system
of lights. The progress of the teams
is recorded graphically by operating
certain lights, showing the actual
position 6f the ball at all times. The
graph records all penalties, tells the
names of the players, and announces
all substitutions in the game.
The grid-graph will be operated
from the back of the stage by members
of the club. Operation of the board wil
be started at kick-off time indefinite
as yet and will continue throughout
the game.
Flash Scores
As an added feature of the program
the club will announce' from the stage
flash scores of other principal games
from all over the country. This wil
let the spectators know- how other
teams irf this area are- progressing
Hammond called attention to the
"act that the grid-graph, set up last
year as an experiment, had proved
highly successful, drawing an esti
mated crowd of 800 persons.
Phi Vote Favors
Opi
lening Dances
To All Students
The Philanthropic society - squeezed
through its weekly discussion bill last
night to open all school dances to the
general student body, by a 13-12 vote.
Bringing to the front one of the most
important issues facing the campus,
the Phi discussion covered both sides
of the question. Affirmative speakers
based their arguments on the greater
difficulties facing students wishing to
leave Chapel Hill on weekends and call
ed for the opening of all dances to the
entire student body. . ,
Since many students will soon be
serving' with the armed forces, Phi
members also considered it necessary
to help make their last year here as
enjoyable as possible by allowing them
to attend all the dances given on the
campus.
Pointing out that only four week
ends in the year are closed to the gen
eral student body, the minority called
for the defeat of the debate measure.
These Phi members also felt that since
the four weekends are the annual Ger
mans, the German club membership is
entitled to the closed dances.
Cloudbuster Alumni Called
World's Fittest Airmen
How the Navy is progressing in its
aim to make its flyers the toughest
and best in the world was revealed by
facts and figures announced by Lieut.
Comdr. Harvey Harman, director of
athletics at the Pre-Flight school here.
The records concern the first four
battalions that have been "graduated"
from the Pre-Flight school and moved
on to primary flight training at reserve
bases. The school here is one. of four
set up by the Navy's division of avia
tion training to give cadets an inten
sive three-month course in body-building
and strengthening athletics.
Most important of the records of
the athletic department is the physical
fitness index. This index is the cri
terion of the cadet's physical aptitude
for altitude flying, dive bombing, and
of his ability to resist the "blackouts"
caused by extreme air and water pres
Students Jam
To Enlist in Reserve Units
Since the announcement from the
war department calling for immediate
drafting of teen-age youths for ser-
vice, over 500 students have had inter
views with Dr. W. D. Perry, head of
the bureau of military and vocational
information.
From this questioning hoard, Perry
stated that only two had made definite
plans to enlist, indicating that the stu
dents that passed through the office
were more anxious to continue their
education.
Reserve enlistment reports show
that a total of 722 students have en
listed in the various reserve plans
with 310 in the Army enlisted reserve,
air corps, and medical units; 362 in
the' Navalx programs, including V-l,
V-5, and the medical corps, and 95 are
in the Marine corps reserve.
A total of 920 students have chosen
the branch of service in which they
wish to enlist but have not completed
their enlistments. Of this number, 482
Legislature Lays Plans
For Passing Next Week
Of Student Fees Bill
An absence riddled student legislature met last- night to lay the groundwork
plans for definite action on the longN discussed student fees bill slated for final
vote next Wednesday night.
Roy Strowd, chairman of the fees committee, discussed the bill with the body
preparatory to bringing it up for vote.
Core of the bill revolved around the
fact that all campus organizations had
their fees system based on a campus
of 2,000 students. With the increase
of some 1,700 students there came an
increase in revenue which was, in some
cases, not needed for the functions ex
panded. Plans were completed for a legisla
ture committee to sit in with class bud
get groups to aid them in drawing Tip
a new, ' more proportionate budget
which would space out available funds
more wisely.
Previous to discussion of the bill,
speaker W. J. Smith pressed on the
body the necessity of attending meet
ings. Aware of the fact that the leg
islature will be called on this year to
pass emergency cases, Smith called for
a new meeting date , which would be
agreeable to the members. Wednes
day night at 8:30 was the compromise
reached.
Must Attend
In an effort to awaken the members
to the exigencies of their positions on
a war program campus, Smith demand
ed that all members attend the meet

rate at which the heart returns to nor
mal action following a period of stress.
For the first battalion the lowest
initial nhvsical fitness score was 18
points, the highest 102, and the aver
age 64.47. The lowest final score, after
three months of intensified training,
wasv 56, the highest 104, the average
80.39. Improvement for the first bat
talion was 15.92 points, or 25 per

was 24, high 101, average 64.75. Final
scores were : low 57, high 105, average
79.35, for a 14.60 gain in points and a
percentage gain of 22.6.
Initial scores of the third battalion
were: low 27, high 104, and an average
of 68.21, as compared with final tests

One student has joined the merchant
marine service, three are in the Red
Cross reserve and one in the U. S. Pub
lie health service. Sixteen of the women
students have indicated their indica
tion of joining the "Waves" and one,
a senior, has already enlisted.
There is more interest in the V-l and
V-7 programs than is indicated by the
number of statements given. There are
seven papers needed before application
for the reserves can be completed and
many students are in the process of
collecting these papers without report
ing to the University.

sentation board comes to the Univer
sity on November 5.

To Meet Tonight

announced by Barry Colby, council
president.
Speakers
Rebate
Invasion
IRC Board Agrees
. On Eventual Need
Two University professors, a Navy
lieutenant and a Chapel Hill merchant
agreed on advisability of eventual
opening of an Allied second front last
night at the International Relations
club's opening campus forum.
Edward Danziger, the merchant who
opened the discussion, reiterated that
he completely favored opening a sec
ond front as the only means of winning
the war. "But we must have air su
premacy with aid of gliders and para
chute troops, air-borne supplies, ade
quate shipping and safety of the seas,
and most of all, complete surprise re
garding place and time of the attack."
Dean of Men Roland Parker, all-out
for an immediate decision for a second
ironr, pictured a burning nouse as a
f . -. - . -a
war allegory. "We can't wait until the
new fire engine arrives or to polish up
the old one. We must get in there and
fight like the devil with what we Have."
Dr. E. J. Woodhouse stated that ac
cording to facts on hand the Allies are
not prepared for successful invasion of
the continent. "We can not run the
risk of slaughter, we can not aid Rus
sia irrespective of aid to Britain. I
doubt that we could hold on if we in
vade now."
Lieut. R. B. Brawley left the deci
sion up to the generals, said nothing
could be decided with such a dearth of
facts, and attacked armchair strategy.
Statements by Woodhouse that the
Allied softening-up process by air
would do the job for the present were
countered by Dr. E, E. Ericson, with
the assertion that only land armies
could divert troops from Russia.
Woodhouse put China ahead of Rus
sia as a more important object for
American military aid. "And who can
say that we are not already creating a
second front to- aid -Russia 1 Our con
flict with the Japanese in the souths
east Pacific certainly is preventing at
tack on Siberia."
Most enthusiastic, Parker claimed
that there were hundreds of miles of
weak spots on the western European
coat ripe for invasion. "We can save
a million lives in the long run by im
mediate invasion. It is our duty to
Russia; we must pay the price."
Red Cross Plans
Clerical Course
A course for Staff Assistants will
be given for volunteers who are inter
ested in doing Red Cross work in the
nature of secretarial and clerical work,
filing and record-keeping with the
Chapter activities. The course will be
a survey of the different services ren
dered by : Red Cross at home and
abroad. The course includes ten lect
ures, outside reading, a notebook and
six hours of practice in a Red Cross
office. A certificate will be awarded
upon the completion of the course re
quirements. Anyone interested in
knowing what the Red Cross is doing
in Chapel Hill, the United States and
abroad is cordially invited to attend.
Mrs. A. P. Hudson, chairman of the
Staff Assistance Corps, announces
that the classes will meet on the second
floor of Graham Memorial in the morn
ings from 10 to 12 o'clock on the fol
lowing dates; October 20, 23, 27 and
28, and in the evening of October 21,
from 7:30 to 9:30. If you want more

Bajpai, IRC Speaker,
Firm Believer in Cripps
By Walter Klein
. Beetle-browed, ruddy complexioned,
heavy-set Sir Girja Shankar Bajpai,
agent general of India, speaking here
for the International Relations club
next Wednesday night, appears to have
had more faith in Sir Stafford Cripps
than did any other Indian leader. '
Bajpai, following Cripps' return to
England, wrote dogmatically that the
British envoy's mission 'was not a
failure, expressing faith in everything
Cripps had to offer. The Indian agent
general later repeated those words on
a coast-to-coast broadcast.
"Cripps proposals are worth care
ful consideration and are much more
advanced than any other such plans,"
Bajpai stated to the press as Sir Staf
ford tried to negotiate in India.

Czech Democracy
To Be Discussed
Dr. W. Preston Warren, visiting lec
turer in the philosophy department at
the University this year, will speak
tonight at 8 o'clock in Gerrard hall at
the second Philosophy Forum held this
year. His subject will be Czech dem
ocracy in relation to both war issues
and peace aims.
lne .fmiosophy department, spon
sors of the forums, suggests that "Is

people at large and are substantially
the same for the Czech's human indi
viduality, the ngnt to mutuality in

prime issues.

Di Senate Asks
For Extension
Of Xmas Holidays
The Di senate passed a bill last night
to petition the administration to
lengthen the Christmas vacation to one
month. This bill was thought neces
sary in order to obtain convenient
transportation facilities home and for
students to take care of their personal
affairs before joining the armed forces.
In discussing one of the most talked
about campus subjects, a special in
vestigating committee of Scott John
son and Jerry Pearson reported that
the facilities for carrying students
home around Christmas would be very
crowded. It also reported that the
proper time for students to return to
their homes for Christmas would be be
tween December 15 and January. 15.
The transportation lines, the commit
tee stated, do not know what will hap
pen to relieve the problem but work
from day to day.
Aaron Johnson and Charles Long
were appointed last night as co-chairmen
of the Panel committee with Al
bert Jacobson, Charles McCoy, Nor
man Rathburn, Nancy Howell, and
Jane Newell as committee members.
Walter Klein was reappointed publi
city committee chairman with Fred
Kanter, vice-chairman. Tiny Hutton
was appointed dance committee chair
man.
Party broke off negotiations, before
Indian citizens revolted and were im
prisoned. What does Sir Girja, the
first official representative from India
to the United States, think now?
Apparently the IRC's guest speaker
has not yet made any public statements
concerning the current crisis, and Wed
nesday night's address will be the first.
Will Bajpai back the British proposals,
will he ask for immediate independ
ence, or will he attempt to be a walk
ing solution to the entire situation?
Bajpai is an Indian through and
through. He was born, bred in India,
in the Indian Civil Service, has been
in Indian politics for more than 20
years. He left India, in October, 1941,
just a year ago. Before he left his
homeland he had seen his army grow

mg room, iiumans percnea liKe nies
on every available wall and scattered
over the steep sides of the bowl eager
to see and hear this amazing young
man, magician of the keyboard," and
the New York Herald-Tribune, "As a
musical humorist Templeton has few,
if any, rivals. This is the best known
aspect of his pianistic talents, but he

technical ability and interpretative
discernment."
